Risk of second malignant neoplasm and mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with biological DMARDs: A Danish population-based cohort study
Annals of Rheumatic Diseases Dec 13, 2017
Dreyer L, et al. - Researchers, in this study, sought to determine the risk of a second malignant neoplasm (SMN) and mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with a history of a primary cancer diagnosis and treated with biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARD).
